Zack Bolduc - Provides assistBolduc logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.
ImpactBolduc has been listed on the Blues' second line since Alexandre Texier (upper body) exited the lineup. It appears Bolduc has lost some trust though, as he was last among the team's skaters with 10:45 of ice time in Tuesday's loss. The 21-year-old has four shots on net and a plus-3 rating to go with his one assist, but he'll need to show a bit more on offense before he'll be an option in fantasy.

Brock Faber - Gets on scoresheet TuesdayFaber picked up a power-play assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
ImpactFaber has two helpers, six shots on net, five hits and a plus-3 rating over four contests this season. The 22-year-old defenseman was paired with Jake Middleton at even strength in this contest due to the absence of Middleton's usual partner Jared Spurgeon (lower body). While Faber hasn't taken a massive step forward yet in 2024-25, his spot on the top pairing and first power-play unit is secure as he has the most scoring potential among Wild blueliners.

Marat Khusnutdinov - Records shorthanded assistKhusnutdinov posted a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
ImpactKhusnutdinov is off to a quiet start in his first full NHL campaign -- the helper was his first point in four games. He's filled a bottom-six role so far, though he saw a season-high 14:44 of ice time Tuesday's win. The 22-year-old center was limited to four points in 16 regular-season outings after coming over from the KHL last year, so it's safe to question how high his scoring ceiling is given the limited sample.

Jakub Lauko - Tallies shorthanded goalLauko scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, added five hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
ImpactThe goal was Lauko's first point in four games with the Wild after he was traded from the Bruins back in June. The 24-year-old forward saw a season-low 9:20 of ice time Tuesday even with the Wild missing Joel Eriksson Ek (nose) and Marcus Johansson (undisclosed), leaving them with just 11 healthy forwards. Lauko can chip in with hits, but he had just 10 points in 60 regular-season outings last year, so he offers little in the way of scoring upside.

Nick Leddy - Misses practice WednesdayLeddy wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
ImpactLeddy hasn't been ruled out versus the Islanders on Thursday yet but could still be held out. The fact that the Blues are carrying eight defensemen on their 23-man roster might also factor into the decision to put Leddy on the shelf for a game even if his lower-body injury is deemed minor. Pierre-Olivier Joseph appears to have the inside track for replacing Leddy if necessary, though Scott Perunovich is also waiting for an opportunity to play.
